Washington, D.C. — The Center for American Progress has launched a new campaign to expose the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, an authoritarian playbook to destroy the 250-year-old system of checks and balances upon which American democracy was built in order to usher in a sweeping array of devastating policies that would harm all Americans.
This effort will leverage CAP’s policy and communications apparatus to clarify for the American people how they would be affected by Project 2025 policies and how this agenda represents a fundamental departure from our nation’s core values.
To date, CAP has released four analyses on Project 2025 policy proposals, including:
- “Project 2025 Prescription Drug Plan Would Increase Costs for as Many as 18.5 Million Seniors and Others With Medicare” by Nicole Rapfogel
- “Project 2025’s Distortion of a Reconstruction-Era Law Could Enact a National Abortion Ban” by Sabrina Talukder
- “Project 2025 Would Increase Costs for Commuters, Defund Transit Maintenance, and Undermine Economic Growth” by Kevin DeGood
- “The Far Right’s Invitation for Foreign Interference in U.S. Elections: How Project 2025 Would Eliminate U.S. Cyber Command’s Election Work” by Greta Bedekovics
For updates on CAP’s Project 2025 work, please visit this new series page that will house the organization’s ongoing policy research of Project 2025’s radical policy agenda and sign up for our new Spotlight Project 2025 newsletter.
Editor’s Note: The anti-democratic dystopian partisan proposals of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is linked to the 2024 Presidential campaign of twice impeached (and now convicted felon) Donald Trump and will likely be implemented if this dangerous dictator-in-waiting is elected come November.
The Center for American Progress is a nonpartisan research and educational institute dedicated to promoting a strong, just and free America that ensures opportunity for all. We believe that Americans are bound together by a common commitment to these values and we aspire to ensure that our national policies reflect these values. We work to find progressive and pragmatic solutions to significant domestic and international problems and develop policy proposals that foster a government that is “of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
